    Hmm, as just a bystander in this, he's making better points than you.

    Don't think anybody is disputing that. Chelsea bought their titles, even Bodanki can't deny that.

    It doesn't surprise me that you'd take that stance.

    Yeah I probably should have.
    Forgot Pixie was a "links please" arguer.
    Not everything can be found on the internet.
    Believe it or not, we survived several hundred thousand years without it.
    I have no agenda in making any of this up.
    All I know is, if a board of directors wanted to jack money from a business without riling the shareholders and the little men, they wouldn't take it as dividends <laugh>

    And....... So what? Who cares? Well, clearly you do... But it's not clear why.

    I simply pointed out that Chelsea bought their titles. That's all <ok>

    Well let's say that that was actually what you simply pointed out (it isn't, as you were also trying to claim that winning those trophies were hollow I think)... But if it was just that, then so what?

    Will you also point out that Leicester won the league last year? What about pointing out that brexit won by a small margin? That humans walk on two legs?

    Okay, so the premise here is that nobody denies that Roman bought Chelsea's titles.

    Probably would have been quicker to have just agreed with me from the start :)

    No one has ever said they disagree with that. You're arguing with yourself there. Indeed Bodanki appears to have agreed with you several times on this, repeating over and over that he knows this and doesn't care.

    What Bodanki (and me now) is disagreeing with is you saying that Chelsea's success is arbitrary. That just makes you sound like a bitter, jealous rival fan.

    No one disagreed with that from the start mate.
    Every club buys their trophies now.
    I just find it hilarious that you would attempt to diminish any of those achievements. Like I, or any Chelsea fan, gives a **** that you think it's "arbitrary".

    And yes I made all that up.
    The board directors at Arsenal have no interest in taking money from the club, and are just keeping all that lovely cash in Arsenal's Barclay's current account so they can look at the big row of pretty numbers every month on their e-statements <ok> <laugh>

    Not sure why there was any accusations of 'melt' then, if everybody is agreeing with me :)

    You went the long way round to agree with me then that Chelsea bought their titles. <ok>

    Could have saved yourself all the bollocks about Arsenal paying £200k pcm to clean the toilets then <laugh>

    Except for the bit where we've stated we don't agree with you. Again, not sure why you've chosen to ignore that too. Lots of ignorance and selective reading this evening.

    I won't carry on that line of debate, you seem to think no dividends means the Arsenal board are making no money from Arsenal. Which is absolute bollocks, as is your claim that Chelsea's trophies are arbitrary.

    No one with even half a brain would try to claim we'd have won all this **** without Roman!

    So you don't agree that Chelsea bought their titles, whilst you do agree that Chelsea bought their titles.

    Great argument <laugh>

    Your claim was that Arsenal's shareholders were 'bleeding Arsenal dry'

    You resorted to making **** up when I called you out for talking bollocks <laugh>

    Ok Mr Pedantic, I have no way of knowing how much money they are taking from the club, so cannot "back the claim" that they are bleeding you dry.

    In any case a good businessman knows you never squeeze a business all in one go, you attach the drip and sit back.
